the enzymatic potential of the cultured plant cells can be employed for bioconversion purposes. plant enzymes are able to catalyze regio- and stereo-specific reactions, and therefore can be applied for the production of desired substances. the biotransformation of foreign substrates with suspension cells of peganum harmala was tested with (±) phenylethyl propionate. the callus cultures of pegan...

Binary mixtures of the protic ionic liquid ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and acetonitrile (AN) were studied at 25 °C over the entire composition range by means of broadband dielectric spectroscopy covering 0.2 ≤ ν/GHz ≤ 89. The dielectric spectra could be decomposed into two relaxation processes, both of which proved to be composite modes. For dilute solutions the higher-frequency Debye relaxatio...

Evidence is presented for the formation of E = S being a pseudo-equilibrium process with a minimum value for the rate constant for the formation of E S complex of -2 X 10’ M“ S-* . The pH dependences have been determined for the dissociation constant of the E S complex (Kb), as well as for the individual rate constants associated with the catalytic steps (k+2 and k+3). The pH profile of k+a/K,(...

The structure of (C2H5NH3)3Sb2Cl9 • (C2H5NH3)SbCl4 at 295 K has been determined. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pna2! (a 16.925(3), b = 24.703(5), c = 7.956(2) A, V = 3326.4(12) A, Z = 4, dc = 2.018, dm = 2.01(1) Mg m). They consist of an anionic sublattice composed of two different polymeric zig-zag chains. One is built of Sb2Cl9 units (corner sharing octahedra) and the other one i...

To shed light on the origin of colloidal stability in ionic liquids,we focus on a model colloidal system (maghemite nanoparticles) in which surface charge and counterion nature can be controlled at will. We thus evidence the crucial role of interfacial features on dispersion quality in a standard ionic liquid, ethylammonium nitrate.

Supramolecular cations, consisting of ethylammonium derivatives (X–CH2CH2–NH3+) complexed with [18]crown-6, were incorporated into [Ni(dmit)2]? crystals in order to promote molecular motion.

We report on the solubility of hen lysozyme (HEWL) in aqueous ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) as a function of water content. We find the solubility behavior to be complex, exhibiting both a maximum (400 mg/mL) at very high EAN content) and a minimum at intermediate EAN content. We exploit this solubility profile in a novel approach to generating crystals of hydrophilic proteins, based on rehydrati...

Salmeterol/fluticasone propionate (Seretide/Advair Diskus [dry powder inhaler] or Seretide/Advair inhalation aerosol [metered-dose inhaler]) is a fixed-dose combination inhalation agent containing a long-acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonist (LABA) plus a corticosteroid. In patients with symptomatic asthma, twice-daily salmeterol/fluticasone propionate maintenance therapy improves lung function and...
